WEEKEND NEWS ROUND-UP: THE MONKEY, SUPER CUB, DERBI & LCQ ADDITIONS

• IT’S NEVER TO LATE TO TELL US WHO’S RACING ON SATURDAY


Here is the actual list of 450 riders who qualified with the 10 Last Chance riders at the bottom.

Due to various circumstances across each division, the seeded field has been adjusted to reflect the current status of each athlete. In the 450cc class, Eli Tomac will be forced to forgo the SMX Playoffs as he continues to recover from a ruptured achilles suffered earlier this season. As a result, the seeded premier class field will consist of 19 racers and will in turn provide three transfer positions out of the Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ).

In the 450cc class, injuries and other factors have led to Jose Butron (21st), Christian Craig (22nd), Lorenzo Locurcio (24th), Benny Bloss (28th), Romain Pape (29th) and Joey Savatgy (30th) not being able to make the race. These vacancies have allowed  Josh Cartwright, Jerry Robin, Jeremy Hand, Bryce Shelly, Jace Kessler, and Max Miller into the SMX program.


Here is the actual list of 250 riders who qualified with the 10 Last Chance riders at the bottom.

In the 250cc class, Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence will contest the 450cc division as the third seed and will forgo his spot in the 250cc field. An additional vacancy will come from Team Honda’s Chance Hymas, who continues his recovery from a torn ACL suffered this summer. With the absence of two seeds, the 250cc class will provide four transfer positions out of the LCQ.

In the 250cc division, injuries and other factors have led to  Enzo Lopes (21st), Jeremy Martin (22nd), Mitchell Oldenburg (25th), Nate Thrasher (26th), Daxton Bennick (28th), Stilez Robertson (29th) and Cameron McAdoo (30th) not being able to compete. As a result,  Austin Forkner, Coty Schock, Preston Kilroy, Josh Varize, Michael Hicks, Hunter Yoder, and Luke Neese will be in the LCQ program.

•  MXA’S MOST VIEWED STORY OF THE WEEK! 


You might find this hard to believe, because we sure did, but the most read story on the MXA website in the last 7 days was not about motocross bikes, but rather about two 2024. retro-mod bikes from Honda. It was viewed by 72,014 viewers. If you weren’t one of the 72,000 , you can read the story below

“LIVING IN THE SIXTIES: ALL-NEW HONDA MONKEY AND SUPER CUB RETURN”

Forget the bell bottom, flowered shirts, tie-dye pants and long hair, relive the 1960s on two all-new Honda bikes from the past because American Honda has announced the return of two iconic machines from the past for 2024, the Monkey and Super Cub models.  With authentic retro styling and a smile-inducing character, Honda’s Monkey hash a new Pearl Black color for 2024 (plus the returning Pearl Nebula Red).

Also returning for the new model year, the Honda Super Cub continues to offer convenient and efficient performance for around-town riding. Both models draw on Honda’s rich two-wheel heritage while benefiting from the modern advancements that allow for an enjoyable, safe and comfortable ride.

2024 HONDA MONKEY 125

Originally introduced in the early 1960s for a Honda-owned Japanese amusement park called Tama Tech, Honda’s Monkey remains true to its roots, with a fun-yet-practical character. Its authentic retro styling is contrasted by state-of-the-art performance, thanks to features like programmed fuel injection, ABS brakes, plush suspension and a capable 124cc engine.

Designed to maximize smiles per gallon, the Monkey’s small stature, light weight and practical performance combine to deliver an approachable, enjoyable riding experience for a wide variety of riders. The MSRP is $4299 in Pearl Nebula Red or Pearl Black

2024 HONDA SUPER CUB C125

One of the most popular motor vehicles of all time, with over 100 million units sold worldwide since its introduction in 1958, the Honda Super Cub offers an unparalleled combination of practical simplicity and retro styling. With its step-through chassis, clutch-free four-speed transmission, lightweight design and 124cc four-stroke engine delivers impressive fuel efficiency and plenty of power for zipping around town.Plus, It features convenient features like front-wheel ABS, fuel injection and an electric starter. The MSRP is $4299 in Pearl Gray.

• MXA AD OF THE WEEK: “SIX OUT OF THE PAST SEVEN”


CZ may have won six out of the past seven years in the 250 or 500 class back in the 1960s and 1970s with Viktor Arbekov, Joel Robert and Paul Friedrichs, but the 1972 CZ125 was lucky to win a local race. It had the same chassis, seat, tank, wheels and suspension as on the CZ360, but with an anemic 125cc engine. CZ claimed 225 pounds during an era when 125s weight 195 pounds.

• MXA COVER OF THE WEEK: “TOMORROW’S MX BIKES” NEVER GOT HERE

Cover of the 1993 August issue of MXA
When this August 1993 cover came out, there was little doubt that the lack of signage on motocross bikes had hurt them when it came to signing outside sponsors. Over 30 years ago, Slater Skins and Rhino Skins tried to get race teams to switch to bodywork that would allow sponsors logos to be visible from the stands. Although a handful or Arenacross and freestyle riders adopted them, no factory race teams took the plunge because the motorcycle manufacturers didn’t want the teams covering  up the look of their bikes
.

• BIKES YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE: 1980 DERBI RC125

This water-cooled 1980 Derbi RC125, shot at Saddleback Park, may well have been the only one imported to the United States in 1980.

MXA test rider Lance Moorewood on the 1980 Derbi RC125 at Saddleback.

A young Jody Weisel raced an air-cooled Derbi RC125 in 1978.

Jody’s Derbi  RC125 was noteworthy because of its steel girder-style swingarm.

MXA TEAM TESTED: BOLT MX KAWASAKI KX250/KX450 PERMA-NUT

The BoltMX KX250/KX450 perma-nut kit stops the T-nut plates from falling out of your Kawasaki’s rear fender. 

At first glance, the side-mounted 2019–2023 Kawasaki KX airboxes and air filters look like a cool idea—until you start living with them. Problems? We have a few. (1) It takes two different-size T-handles to get the Kawasaki airbox cover off. KTM, GasGas and Husqvarna have no bolts. Yamaha has a single Dzus fastener and Honda has one bolt. Word on the street is that the 2024 Kawasaki KX450 will have no bolts also. We aren’t complaining about having to loosen two bolts, but we are complaining about having to loosen two different-size bolts. It shows a lack of understanding about what buyer’s appreciate. (2) Kawasaki’s filter-cage design is difficult to use, which is odd because Kawasaki redesigned it to make it easier to use. (3) The KX airbox is so small that there is no room to maneuver the cage, and you can’t see the hook and post when you are installing the filter. (4) When you remove the top airbox cover bolt, which doubles as the left seat bolt, the T-nut plate, that the seat bolt threads into, falls out of its recess in the rear fender and lands on the ground..

Bolt MX’s Perma-Nuts differ from the standard Kawasaki T-nut plate in that the threaded tubular extension, that the airbox cover bolt threads into, has a lip at the top of the tube that has a larger diameter than the threaded tube and hole in the plastic fender. So, when you tighten the Bolt’s Perma-Nuts the first time, the large lip is pulled through the Kawasaki fender plastic, which means that it can’t fall out. Problem solved.

They are a snap to install. You use the stock seat bolt to pull the BoltMX Perma-Nut T-plate through the plastic fender. It takes about 10 minutes to do both sides of the Kawasaki. Of course, the job of installing them is made easier because the stock T-plates fall out and don’t have to be removed. Bolt MX solved the problem that has stymied Kawasaki since 2019.  Well worth the money. The retail price is $14.99 (two Perma-Nuts). For more info go to www.boltmx.com or call (805) 466-6686.

• MXA PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: NITROMOUSSE FOAM TUBES


NITROMOUSSE FOAM TUBES
: Nitromousse is a high-tech foam tube made from proprietary elastomers that have millions of nitrogen charged micro-cells. This means that you can cut, puncture, tear, and hammer a NItromousse and it will continue to perform, giving you the confidence to finish the race or make it back out of the trail without concern. Nitromousses also come in two different psi feels, The 10-12 psi Platinum (designed for all-around riding and racing) and the 6-8 psi Plushie (designed for lower speed technical riding, endurocross and hard enduro riding. The retail price is $134.95 (Platinum or Plushie) at www.rockymountainatvmc.com.


NITROWEDGE:
Nitrowedge is a short section of mousse that allows you to increase the psi feel or extend the life of one with many hours on it. It allows you to increase the psi feel of any Nitromousse foam tube by adding foam volume to the current mousse, giving you the ability to “tune” the psi feel. You can also use it to increase the psi feel of a foam mousse that has a lot of hours on it and make it last even longer. The retail price is $21.95 (Platinum or Plushie) at www.rockymountainatvmc.com.


NITRO LUBE COOLING GELL:
Nitrolube is a high-quality silicone based lubricant made specifically for Nitromousse foam tubes. It substantially reduces friction, disperses heat and ensures a long life of your Nitromousse. This is critical in getting the longest life out of a Nitromousse. No other lubricant works better to ensure the life of your Nitromousse. Only one tube of Nitrolube is needed to install a Nitromousse foam tube and you do not need to re-lube as long as any extra valve stem holes in your rim are covered. The retail price is $4.95 (Platinum or Plushie) at www.rockymountainatvmc.com.

• EVERY WORLD VETERAN MOTOCROSS CHAMPION (1985-2022)

When the World Vet Motocross Championship was founded by Tom White, Jody Weisel and Alan Olson in 1985, the only two age groups were Over-30 and Over-40, (Over-50 was added in 1988, Over-60 in 1994, Over-70 in 2001 and Over-80 in 2019).  It was unimaginable back in 1985 that the World Vet would grow to 1000 riders over a three-day race and have classes for Over-30, Over-40, Over-50, Over-60, Over-70 and Over-80 year old riders (with 5-year increments at 35, 45, 55 and 65).
